And I looked, and, lo, aa Lamb stood on bthe mount Sion, and with him can hundred forty and four thousand, dhaving his Father’s name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, eas the voice of many waters, and fas the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers gharping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were ha new song before the throne, and before gthe four beasts, and the elders: and ino man could learn that song but cthe hundred and forty and four thousand, hwhich were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are they which jwere not defiled with women; for kthey are virgins. These are they jlwhich follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These †hwere redeemed from among men, being mthe firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5 And nin their mouth was found no guile: for they are owithout fault before the throne of God.
